Manage episode 501370872 series 3499633
In this episode of Somatic Healing for Wellness-Focused Women, Rae breaks down the top 5 misconceptions about breathwork - from the myth that you have to do long, intense sessions to the false belief that feeling dysregulated means you've failed.

🌬️ In this episode, you'll learn:

✨ How breathwork supports both trauma healing and everyday well-being
✨ What it really means to be "dysregulated" (and why it's not failure)
